First experience with cryptocurrencies 

Ola says he first became aware of Bitcoin in late 2010 when he saw a video of Gavin Andresen talking about technology. He was working with his co-founders, and they began to discuss whether to use their media lab’s resources to mine Bitcoin. 

Role in the Bitcoin community 

As a longtime software developer, Ola has had to shift into a new paradigm of networking and P2P applications. He works full time on building Bitcoin and NXT applications, including Coinsigner, NXT Poker and a steal remittance app, all of which bring on new users by virtue of ease of use, e-commerce opportunities and remittances. 

Ola is also an NXT evangelist.
